Slaughterhouse Island by Jill Christman (5 stars)-Christman tells what sounds like a typical college story (which makes me sad). Hirsch begins telling stories about her time in college and the one disturbing story is about how after a night of drinking too much she woke up in a friend’s room (where he put her to keep her safe) and took out her contacts while she was unconscious. Apparently birth control equals putting out a certain signal (blech). A few times I went wait what happened when we had someone recounting their story.įragments by Aubrey Hirsch (4 stars)-the story begins when she is being harassed for taking birth control by her supposed friend James. Also I wish that things were not left vague in a few stories. I think also that looking at rape culture is a huge undertaking, and so the stories could have flowed a bit better between them to the next story. I ended up just feeling sad while reading and finally finishing this book off with some wine. It was just hard to get through and some of the stories didn’t really move me one way or the other. I feel like a bad person for not totally loving this book.
